My Take
Otis Thorpe represents an era of NBA basketball I genuinely miss: tough, physical and unselfish. A 206 cm power forward, he was never the flashiest name, but his 1992 All-Star nod and the 1994 championship with the Houston Rockets speak to the kind of player every title team needs. Rings are not won by scoring leaders alone; they are won by the rebounders and bruisers who do the dirty work in the paint, and Thorpe was that. Coming up through Providence College, he embodies the grind. To me, real value in basketball lives in those gritty battles under the rim.
